Happy Stanuary, peoples! For my week 2 and 4 prompts, I will be doing some writing, so why not post them here?
Week 2's prompt is "Travel" and... I had absolutely no ideas for it. So, I wrote a very cryptic free verse poem.
It is told from Stan's point of view immediately after being disowned, as he's driving away from Glass Shard Beach for the final time.
I know poetry is kinda unorthodox, but I hope you still enjoy! My week 4 will be an actual story, to give you something to look forward to :)
The reflections shrink
Looking in the cracked rearview mirror
As the town fades away
Along with my hope
If family is finite
As I've been led to believe
Then what is the point
Of the images in my mirror?
Leaving for good
Without a thought
Yet with every thought
Festering in my mind
If family is finite
As I'm beginning to believe
Then there is no point
To the images in my mirror
So I simply watch
The only home I've ever known
Distort behind me as
The reflections shrink
